half-hearted jumpshot

@RyanWardLA This should NOT have been an ejection. Note tho': same guy who gave Booker a tech after being told to do so by the OKC players.

Still don't understand what happened here. Make it make sense

@LunoWyd @FastBreakBron @LegionHoops I'll admit that maybe it coulda just been an F1, but generally speaking they're really tough on any contact to the head. That said, the refereeing and handing out of penalties has been incredibly inconsistent this playoffs.

@badjumpshot @FastBreakBron @LegionHoops ayton himself said his elbow slipped and even Sengun said it shouldn’t have resulted in an ejection so how is saying it’s not a flagrant 2 crazy

JUST IN: Deandre Ayton was just ejected for this Flagrant 2 on Sengun. This is so soft. What?!?

@LunoWyd @FastBreakBron @LegionHoops This is why people hate our team.

@badjumpshot @FastBreakBron @LegionHoops He was clearly bracing for contact and his forearm slipped off of sengun’s shoulder. It’s a foul sure but being ejected is ridiculous

@wynters_ryat @adukeMN @KyleTheige I asked a question, Potato. Now... go forth and propagate? Please don't take that literally tho'. Last thing we need is you with fkn progeny.

@badjumpshot @adukeMN @KyleTheige You chose to be a dick the minute you commented on here telling me what I meant. And now you’re mad because you don’t like to be treated the same way you just treated another human? Sounds like someone should sit this out and put the social media down.

Mike Conley on if he was trying to start trouble at the end of the game passing it up to Jaden McDaniels “(Laughs) nah that was a slip up, that’s all on me I take the blame… as soon as I threw it I looked and I was like “ah it’s Jaden” I almost put my hands on my head and I was like “maybe he won’t” and then as soon as I saw him when the ball kind of bounced a couple times “it’s over man” you can even see me like lower my head”

@8xevix @LegionHoops Whilst yes - the call was correct, and Ayton deservedly kicked... to say it was a "forceful intentional elbow to the head" is so much BS. Stop it.

@LegionHoops R u blind? That is an obvious flagrant 2, meets the necessary criteria. I get that the NBA is inconsistent in calling these, just as bad as letting lebron double dribble and flop all the time. Forceful, intentional elbow to the head.

@FastBreakBron @LegionHoops First of all: I'm a Lakerfan... but if we're complaining about this as an F2, wtf are we doing? You cannot lift your elbow and make contact with another player's head. I guess you won't be saying anything about Lu Dort next series?

His forearm just slipped off senguns sweaty shoulder. There’s nothing dirty about Da has never been a dirty player and would never intentionally hit the back of somebody’s head like that and even then that was not even close to enough impact to the head. They’re supposed to be wind up impact in effective follow-through for a flagrant, too, that’s barely a fragrant one. There was no wind up or follow-through.

@LegionHoops I'm a Lakerfan. Have been for decades. Ayton lifts the elbow. Deserved the ejection. Stupidity.

@wynters_ryat @adukeMN @KyleTheige lol... stop being a pedant . But hey: thank you for telling me what I meant when I typed the fkn word. You know exactly what *I* meant. You're just choosing to be a dick. Noted. Now...

@badjumpshot @adukeMN @KyleTheige Okay Jan….

@TylerSmithAB @scottbeedy @JimPeteHoops Old school word, but fits: Doofus.

@badjumpshot @scottbeedy @JimPeteHoops mcdaniels wouldn't have done that punk bitch move in the hood because he knows he would have gotten shot or stabbed.

If you are going to intentionally foul not once but twice down 12 with 33 seconds...and shoot a 3 with 10.4 seconds (Murray could have dribbled the clock out)...you shouldn't be complaining about a layup at the end of the game. I'm just saying.

@TylerSmithAB @BobTreeIII @scottbeedy @JimPeteHoops You probably already know and understand this, but: You're an idiot.

@BobTreeIII @badjumpshot @scottbeedy @JimPeteHoops there's a reason african americans are only 13% of the population and commit 52% of murders

@wynters_ryat @adukeMN @KyleTheige Dirty has a completely different implication. And I think both Conley & McDaniels knew EXACTLY what they were doing, and the result was actually better than they could've hoped for. What I do know is that if they follow the rules, at least 4 or 5 Nuggets are sitting for Game 5.

@badjumpshot @adukeMN @KyleTheige You just said it was “shitty” in your own tweet. We can disagree on terminology but you think he shouldn’t have done it. Me: I am not shocked he did, and have no issues with him doing it. Conley: “It’s Jaden”

@wynters_ryat @adukeMN @KyleTheige Literally no-one said "that's a dirty play". Shitty? Sure. Words matter.

@SheaSerrano So... ignore the actual rules. They should do that with all the rules. Fuck 'em. Throw a ball out there, tell them "no rules" - and just watch what happens?

don’t suspend anyone let them play

@LegionHoops That guy wasn't at the game tonight.

He’s back.

@Shapalicious The actual rules say different to David...

David Adelman said postgame: "No, we watched the film. You know, obviously I didn't like what McDaniels did. The game is over... No suspensions for us. I didn't see anything out of line. Obviously, they'll have the Hawkeye view of the whole thing."

@scottbeedy @JimPeteHoops Denver's immature? I sorta think Joker knew what he was doing. I half think he doesn't actually *want* to play - most of game 4 he looked like he didn't want to.

@JimPeteHoops Joker no doubt remembered the slam dunk that Jaden did at the end of Game 7 two years ago too. I didn’t think the relaxed layup was anything compared to that. But still there’s an imaturaty with this team that is always hanging around.

@TXForever49 @JeffGSpursZone Yeah... clearly Denver.

@JeffGSpursZone This video is old. It's not from tonight (it was in Denver).

Mannn Joker's brothers always start crap with fans... wonder how quick they'll learn if they did this to fans at the Frost, #porvida fans.... #nba #sanantonio #gospursgo

@JeffGSpursZone Impressed the guy shrugged it off.

@KevinOConnor Your player being so fkn dumb that he took Jaden McDaniels' bait that he threw out was the issue. Or MAYBE Jokic knew exactly what he was doing - and simply doesn't *want* to play. Definitely looked like that all the way through game 4.

So lame. First the “check our defensive rating” quote and now this.

@espn To be fair, the Nuggets had stopped playing some time in the third quarter...

"Because he scored when everybody stopped playing." Nikola Jokic says he doesn't regret his reaction to Jaden McDaniels' layup at the end of Game 4.
